Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "AA-513-24 Network Cabling Framework" was initiated by NHS Ayrshire & Arran, with an open procedure to secure a contractor for network cabling services. The focus is on services within the health sector, specifically at the University Hospital Crosshouse, located in Ayr, Scotland, under the industry category of Health (CPV: 50332000). The procurement moved through various stages, currently culminating in the contract award phase. The key contract documents were finalised, and the award was made on 10th July 2025. The procurement aimed to appoint a provider to handle cabling installation and maintenance as required over a four-year period. The tender invited electronic submissions, closing on 15th January 2025, with the award period commencing shortly thereafter on 17th January 2025.

This tender process opens significant business opportunities, particularly for large enterprises with expertise in network installation and maintenance. The nature of the framework agreement indicates an emphasis on securing a sole supplier, North PB Ltd, who will manage comprehensive cabling infrastructure needs. Businesses with experience in long-term service delivery and the ability to manage significant operational responsibilities in healthcare environments would be well-positioned. The contract criteria focused heavily on quality (50%) and competitive pricing (40%), making it crucial for bidding companies to demonstrate not only technical capabilities but also effective cost management to stand out in such tenders.
